Gee I'm sure Shaun Higgins does not regret his decision to move at all. also I wonder if Josh Dunkley is thanking his lucky stars he did not move to the bummers. 

I'm not a fan of north but I do feel for there coach and I hope roosy and others give him some support. Although he wasn't a favourite Mark Neeld did cop a lot of heat and not a lot of support back then. 

So next week nth play the crows at marvel, what crowd number do you think they will get and will the crow fans outnumber the nth fans?

I'm looking forward to seeing them get flogged by 100+ points ?

The Pies may not be the finest chocolates going around at the moment but they almost always give a 100% red hot go every game, making them a hard team to beat.

I would not even give them a millimeter let alone an inch.  Replay that match ten times over they probably win eight of them and they're looking ok and one of the team's to beat.

I must admit their forward line looks flakey though and too reliant on DeGoey kicking 4 to 5 each week to get them over the line.

Hoewever as we know, footy is very fickle, occasionally decided by the mere direction a ball bounces (see Milne 1st drawn GF 2010).

While they still have Pendles & Sidebottom (when in form) running around, write off the Pies at your peril.

I was referring to the kangas. Collingwood are still a dangerous team and no easy beats.

If the AFL hand us (Tasmania) this steaming [censored] it’s just proof of their contempt for the push for a team. “You wanted a team, here it is. Enjoy.” ? 

Yep. No one wants them

They should have gone to the Gold Coast when the offer was there

Is it too early for us to start packing up and moving to Arden St? 
 

(Good digs and a train station coming soon - will be a mini CBD soon enough with a footy oval in the middle)

North's percentage after 3 rounds is 37.3%. outside of Essendon I cannot think of a side they would be a chance to beat. It is quite likely they will go all season without a win and less than 50%.

We can all thank chookrat when Tom Dyson kicks 7 goals, 1 after the siren to beat us, in their only win of the season and we miss finals by 0.0000001% (to Collingwood or Essendon)

Maybe we will see a 100 goal season by a forward this year. I’d like to see that, any chance it can happen?

Could easily happen if Forward Lines are open

Nought are the reason we have the Gold Coast $un$

I feel no Sympathy ? 

I'm glad we have the Sun's and I'm glad North are still in Melbourne. Anyone wishing death or relocation on other teams should have a good hard look at themselves. What happened to Fitzroy (and almost us and Hawthorn) should never happen again. Remember North and Fitzroy wanted to merge but were blocked by the AFL and the other clubs.

There should be room for only one Melbourne in the Competition 

Nought should never have been allowed in back in 1925

Always Hated them, Always will

Ouch, I just opened the AFL app to see what happened. This could be the beginning of the end for North if they aren’t careful. 

They’ve almost certainly lost the Good Friday game for next year, they will be a terrible team for at least the next couple of years and after pushing so hard for it you can’t put up such an insipid performance. 

We’ve been there, it really sucks.

I am not sure who the main commentator for the adelaide/suns clash is ( maybe that Dwayne Russell type ) but every time that blinking Walker goes near the ball he has absolute multiples. He is worse than Mcevany.

Ben King has 4 goals already.  Tex doing well again. Bruce kicking 10.

Its the year for big forwards....  Benny Brown would have kicked 80 this year if he played a full season.. we need him and Weid back!

i'm really excited to see what brown can do

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
